Fond farewell to summer

      Good intentions to keep up with available produce lists fell by the wayside when we reached our last two weeks of delivery.  One would think that, at least in theory, the final two weeks wouldn't be any more hectic than the preceding ten . . . but it was.  (Oh was it ever!!!)  Fortunately, when it came down to a choice between updating the blog or filling delivery baskets, we made the right choice.  :)  We really hope you have enjoyed the summer and all the goodies that Becky packed into those boxes.  When we started giving people notice that there were only two weeks of deliveries left, we had one customer tell us, "I decline the message - tell Becky I want more!"  if any of you feel the same way, we have good news for you.  Even though deliveries finished yesterday, there is still fresh produce to be enjoyed.  You can either call the farm to make an appointment to buy goodies ala carte, or you can catch us at the Roseau farmer's market on Saturdays.  I don't have an official date for when that might end - but we will be there tomorrow, and that is all that matters at the moment.  We spent the better part of the afternoon loading lots of lovely things into the van for the market: squash, tomatoes, cabbage, watermelon, eggplant . . . and some adorable fingering potatoes that one helper (who shall remain nameless) has been waiting all summer to try.  ( Just so you know - they were really, REALLY yummy.)  We will have regular potatoes, too, just in case the smaller variety isn't your preference.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
